"NBC's banner year last season was largely due to the creative efforts of our classic primetime comedies and dramas as well as our number-one late-night programs. It is gratifying to be surrounded by such a phenomenal group of talented people who have helped NBC reach the top-rated position in all dayparts. On behalf of Bob Wright, Andy Lack and everyone at NBC, I congratulate all the nominees and eagerly look forward to NBC's exclusive broadcast of the primetime Emmys on September 22."

Leading NBC's tally is two-time Outstanding Drama Series, "The West Wing," which earned 22 nominations, an increase from the previous two years in which the series scored 18 nominations each year. In addition to another nod for Outstanding Drama Series, "The West Wing" nearly clean-swept all performer categories with nominations that include past winners Allison Janney, Richard Schiff and Bradley Whitford.
